Living in a remote area will be a bit more of a challenging for marketing your perfume, but it's not impossible. You can always send out samples with your price sheet. Think about all of the craft fairs in your area. One of the best ways to market is attending a wholesale show. In the link section of our site there are links to some wholesale shows that retailers attend to look for new lines of product. This is also a great place to meet a sales representative who calls on retail stores to sell your product.  They usually want you to supply them with samples to give away as well as the product sheets and they usually receive a 15% - 20% commission. It sounds like a lot, but remember, they have sales experience, are in touch with customers and have an on going relationship with the retailer.  They may also want to take your product to market, or wholesale shows to sell. This is a great way to get your product out there. There are also markets that specialize in skin care and related products. The retail market for perfume is HUGE and growing!

You will have to do the normal things in setting up your business. Call your city hall to get the requirements to start a wholesale business. The usual requirements are a resale license and a fictitious business name. You usually have to go to your local city hall to find out if the name you have chosen is available. File your name and pay the fees.  You will also need a business bank account with your new business name.  The bank will require you to have your fictitious name. Do not for get to get your resale license. And make sure you collect the proper documents from the people you sell to so they will not have to pay you a sales tax. Keep these documents in a safe place. The tax board may want to see them. Or you could have to come up with the sales tax you would normally collect from an individual. The state you do business in will make all the rules clear to you. Its not as hard as it all sounds. Its really relatively easy and inexpensive to get all the paper work done. Its great fun and excitement owning your own business. Especially when you have created the product yourself.
